> Grimm 053: Little Snow-White 53 Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Once upon a time in midwinter, when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, a queen sat sewing at her window, which had a frame of black ebony wood.
> Soon afterward she had a little daughter who was as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood, and therefore they called her Little Snow-White.
> Against the wall there were seven little beds, all standing in a row and covered with snow-white sheets.
> Because she was so hungry and thirsty Snow-White ate a few vegetables and a little bread from each little plate, and from each mug she drank a drop of wine.
> The unsuspecting Snow-White stood before her and let her do up the new lace, but the old woman pulled so quickly and so hard that Snow-White could not breathe.
> Snow-White stuck her head out the window and said, "I am not allowed to let anyone in. The dwarfs have forbidden me to do so."

I know it's a 2v1 battle and I know Walt Disney has been in an ERB already but nobody got a chance to respond to Disney in the battle so let's do it.
So many of the big Disney movies were based off Brothers Grimm stories but way less dark than the originals. It'll also be interesting because the Brothers Grimm didn't come up with those stories either.
If it HAS to be a doubles battle rather than a 2v1 you can have the Brothers Grimm vs. Disney and Eisner but I think there's a lot you can do with just the Brothers Grimm vs. Disney.
I've recently been looking at the story of Hansel and Gretel with the release of Gretel and Hansel, the dark retelling of the Brothers Grimm story. I thought it was an interesting story to analyse as there's a depth to it that's not often given enough credit, mostly as the majority of people only know of it as a children's fairy tale.
I thought people might find this of interest and was keen to see what additional insights others might have. If you're interested, you can watch a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PubmBCQ1n6w
Alternatively, the complete transcript of the video is below...
With the upcoming release of Gretel and Hansel, I thought it seemed an appropriate time to discuss the fairy tale it's based on from the the brothers Grimm, Hansel and Gretel. It might seem odd that I'd discuss something that's often understood to be aimed at kids, but the reality is that many of the tales from brothers Grimm have mature themes that are actually extremely interesting when you delve into them.
So if you're wondering what we can take away from Hansel and Gretel about responsibility, maturity and greed, then you will find this video of interest as I discuss some of the psychology and philosophy of the story.
As far as the film, Gretel and Hansel goes, it's yet to be released and I don't know what to expect from it, other than it's clearly not aimed for a young audience and will be delving into some of the dark themes of the original tale. And for anyone interested, seeing as it's been a source of confusion and a popular meme, the film switched the names of the characters around because Gretel is going to be the main focus of the story.
If you don't know the story of Hansel and Gretel I would recommend reading it, as it can be quite fascinating. To give a quick summary, a woodcutter and his wife are struggling in poverty and so the wife, stepmother to two children, suggests they abandon the children in a forest to fend for themselves. Here, the children come across a home made of food, where they begin to eat as they starve. Inside a witch sees them and feeds them incessantly, with the intent to fatten up Hansel so that she can eat him. Gretel catches on to her ploy and tricks her, eventually leading to the witches death in an oven she intended to cook Hansel in. The chidlren find great wealth in the witches home, which they eventually take home to their father to save the family, with their stepmot

People who study Germanic linguistics are stuck with the rather arbitrary-seeming terms "strong" and "weak" for various declensional paradigms; a strong verb is an ablaut verb, a weak verb is a verb with a dental suffix; a weak noun or adjective is one with an N-declension, a "strong" one is otherwise. Why the same term is used for these fundamentally pretty different concepts, I don't understand. The words strong and weak in this context are direct translations of the Brothers Grimm's German "stark" and "schwach". But they being the inventors of the term had to have meant something by those words. But, what? What's so "strong" about ablaut on a verb?
Baby (3 months old) has a lump on the back of her head. Baby goes in for a ultrasound (a cyst, still going to be cut out in the near future). Insurance is refusing to cover the ultrasound because it's not "medically necessary". Fuck them.
That is all.

Title - Upon not earning it the first time, my friend and I ran it again only with me using a different shotgun and got the achievement.
Our only guess for this is the shotgun's Akimbo classification, but it could really be anything.
Why are these movies missing? I would love to see Tower of Terror, H-E Double Hockey Sticks and so many more on the service.
